A/N: This chapter gives you an insight on what happened between Damian and Tony. It's not for the faint of heart. However, towards the end things look up, as I wanted to balance the messed up beginning, with a little bit of fluff towards the end.

Warnings: Mentions of past rape (implied, I did not go into detail with this because it's a topic that is very sensitive to many. If I ever do go into detail, I will make sure to explicitly tell you), mentions of past abuse, mentions of past forced drug and substance abuse.

Tony's POV

"Hey babe!" I heard Damian say once I stepped inside his room. He lives in a small apartment in Manhattan all by himself, working at Stark industries as one of our top engineers. I felt like it was a match made in heaven when I first remembered him walking through the double glass doors of Dad's company, looking so lost and nervous. I remember when his name first appeared on my wrist and I was so confused. I remember him looking at me and smiling, causing me to reciprocate the gesture.

He was always energetic, almost as talkative as I was, and quite the romantic. We lived off of stolen moments, sometimes sneaking away to kiss each other, quick pecks on the cheek when my Dad wasn't looking, and sometimes slaps on the ass when he was feeling cheeky.

But then it suddenly just... Changed.

He wasn't the man I fell head over heels for, the guy I spent 2 years of my life with, he started to become more cold, slightly distant, abusive, and he even got me addicted to cigarettes and drugs; Cocaine was the biggest one, with Marijuana being given to me on the side. Overall he wasn't the same person who walked into Stark Industries, he was a whole different person. And I blame myself.

I was young, dumb, reckless, and blinded by the falseness that he still loved me. I was so blinded by love, and I was so stupid for it. I didn't know what self love was, I didn't know that the things he was doing to me wasn't ok, but all I could still see every time I looked in his eyes was the guy I was in love with. I still saw my Damian from Stark Industries, I still saw my soulmate, and I loved him.

"Hey honey, I'm so happy to see you!" I exclaimed. I walked over to him and sat on his bed, kissing his cheek and resting my head on his shoulder while he wrapped his arm around me.

"I'm happy to see you too, doll face. Days been kinda gloomy, but now that you're here it's gotten better." I chuckled and wrapped my arms around his waist, snuggling up to him. I was so in love with this guy, I was in so much delusion but I refused to lose him.

"That's sweet of you to say. Anything you wanna do today?" I asked. He moved a little and I felt his chin on top of my head. His grip on my shoulder grew just a little tighter, but I didn't think anything of it, peppering his neck with soft kisses and nibbles.

"We've been dating for a while now, right babe?"

"Of course! Two years, why do you ask?" I pull back slightly to look into his eyes that were already looking at me. There was this weird haze that clouded his eyes, and it was unnerving. "You're not... Thinking of breaking up with me right?" Why did I ask that? I was the one who wanted to break up with him. But I felt so trapped in my own mind that I just thought I'd rather go through all of this than lose him.

"No! No, nothing like that doll. I was just thinking, maybe we could take it to another level." He explained. I felt my body go rigid. He's been asking this for a while and every time I've put it off, which tends to end up things taking a turn for the worse. I just... Wasn't willing to give up my virginity to him after all he's done, I wanted to save it for someone who deserved it, which is weird considering how warped my mind is for making me stay with him. Or was it my heart? It was hard to tell...
